A cooling apparatus includes a compressor; a condenser for condensing a refrigerant discharged from the compressor, an expansion valve to expand the refrigerant discharged from the condenser, and an evaporator to evaporate the refrigerant discharged from the expansion valve and to deliver the refrigerant to the compressor. The compressor includes a rotary compressor having a displacement volume less than about 3 cc, and refrigerant circulating inside the cooling apparatus includes at least one of R290, R600a, R123a, R1234yf, and R1234ze. The cooling apparatus and compressor attain miniaturization and high efficiency.

Cooling apparatus and compressor

A compressor and an air conditioner including the same having an improved structure capable of decreasing a discharge temperature of the compressor. The compressor which compresses and discharges refrigerant includes a casing defining an external appearance thereof, at least one cylinder including an inner space, a rolling piston which eccentrically turns in the inner space, a vane which radially abuts the rolling piston and divides the inner space into a suction chamber and a compression chamber, and a vane chamber recessed outward of the inner space such that the vane advances and retreats, a plurality of plates disposed above and below the at least one cylinder so as to define the inner space, an injection line provided in one of the at least one cylinder and the plural plates, and a check valve installed on the injection line.

Compressor and air conditioner including the same

An air conditioning apparatus including a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve to depressurize a refrigerant. The refrigerant is formed of hydro fluorocarbon (HFC). The compressor includes a compression unit to compress the refrigerant, a motor unit to provide rotational power to the compression unit, and an oil accommodation portion to store oil to reduce friction between the rotating shaft and the compression unit and lower a temperature of the compressor, and the oil contains a carbon nanoparticle. Even when an HFC-based refrigerant producing high discharge temperature in a compressor is used, deterioration of the compressor due to the high temperature is prevented. In addition, by lowering the operational temperature of the compressor, the reliability and performance of the compressor using the HFC-based refrigerant and the air conditioning apparatus using the same may be enhanced.
